Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female hitchcock or a female scorsese or a female spielberg? i don't know. i think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.

Thinking Males Female

More From Bret Easton Ellis

In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

Yes. the original argument is defective. substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'male people cannot be normal. if everyone were male starting tomorrow, the human race would die out, so being male cannot be nature's intended way.' or you could substitute the word 'female.' in either case, the argument makes no sense: being male or female is perfectly normal.

What i think networks do so well are big, fun, accessible, invite everybody into the tent kinds of storytelling, akin to an early spielberg movie or a michael crichton novel. that's not to say that there aren't scary parts 'cause there are, and that there aren't sexy parts and edgy parts, just like early spielberg would have, but there's a lot of heart, a lot of emotion and complicated characters.

The idea of working with david fincher or paul thomas anderson or wes anderson or scorsese or spielberg or any of the guys i really idolize is a dream for me.

During the shooting of a scene the director’s eye has to catch even the minutest detail. but this does not mean glaring concentratedly at the set. while the cameras are rolling, i rarely look directly at the actors, but focus my gaze somewhere else. by doing this i sense instantly when something isn’t right. watching something does not mean fixing your gaze on it, but being aware of it in a natural way. i believe this is what the medieval noh playwright and theorist zeami meant by ‘watching with a detached gaze.’

You're only as good as your body of work, and everybody has issues, whether it's steven spielberg or martin scorsese. i'm not comparing myself to those guys, but you learn more from the misses than the hits.

Naturally i've known girlies form an attachment to the younger male before now, but in the tennis score of the bedroom most girls in my experience would rather love thirty or love forty than love fifteen. men, of course, are a whole other issue; they start at love all and stay there until they're dragged from the court
